3) The contact can tip from side to side inside the pocket. This is unavoidable and will be
corrected as the nozzle comes down to pick up the contacts from the pocket
NOZZLE SELECTION AND PICK AND PLACE AREA
The pick and place area on each contact size varies due to the contact size. Care needs to
be taken to select a suitable nozzle based on the size of the pick and place area and the
shape of the beam.
Recommended Nozzle Sizes
For pick and placing universal contacts, it is recommended to use a cylindrical, tube type
nozzle and to maximise the internal diameter and cross sectional area of the vacuum area.
The nozzle recommended nozzle sizes for each contact are as follows:
Part Number
Outside Diameter
(mm)
Inside Diameter
(mm)
Vacuum Cross
Sectional area (mm
2

Recommended nozzle offsets
Each contact is a different size and therefore requires a different nozzle offset in ‘X’ and ‘Z’. It
is recommended to run a trial to find the best offset in ‘X’ and ‘Z’ for the particular type of
SMT machine being used as this will differ with regard to pick and place speed, feeder type
and accuracy.
